Modern Love

THE PARTY Hold It Contemporary Home inaugurated its Calligaris showroom. THE SCENE San Diego’s design elite came out in full force for the fete, where slick new Fiats were on display outside. Inside, guests sipped the popular Peter Rabbit from our fave cocktail aficionados, Pick & Rocks. Meanwhile, Searsucker provided the savory bites for guests to nibble while roaming the airy, modern showroom. A lavish charcuterie spread was set up among the vignettes, where guests lounged and caught up on the local design scene. In the house: the always hip Michael Soriano with his plaid-shirt crew; designer James Denton; Dan Herbst of Urban Timber; Del Mar artist Erik Skoldberg and ASID President Robin Carrier. THE HIGHLIGHTS Leave it to Hold It to be the exclusive San Diego store to carry Calligaris. From sleek dining room tables to colorful chairs, the Italian brand is all about subtle, clean style with a touch of retro glam. In other words, it’s ideal for SoCal living. Photography by J.Dixx
